Key Features



The SONAbeam™ 52-M is optimized for high-availability links from 300 to 7700 meters (320 ft to 4.8 mi) and provides datarate transparent transmission from 10 to 68 Mbps including DS3, E3, OC-1/STM-0 and SONET SDH standards.

With proven performance overcoming the elements, the SONAbeam™ M series was designed with carriers' needs in mind. Featuring a rugged, cast-aluminum, environmentally sealed housing and up to 50 times the power of competing products, the SONAbeam™ 52-M is the toughest, most powerful system currently available. Quadruple-redundant transmitters combined with a 20 cm (8 in) diameter receiver further ensure transmission integrity.

Higher power translates into greater link range and better weather availability for fiber-like availability at practical link ranges. The entire SONAbeam™ series includes an SNMP monitoring application that allows users to manage the system and monitor important system information in real-time.
